Finitely Presented Residually Free Groups
We establish a general criterion for the finite presentability of subdirect products of groups and use this to characterize finitely presented residually free groups. We prove that, for all n ∈ N, a residually free group is of type FPn if and only if it is of type Fn. New families of subdirect products of free groups are constructed, including the first examples of finitely presented subgroups ...
متن کاملNon-amenable finitely presented torsion-by-cyclic groups
We construct a finitely presented non-amenable group without free non-cyclic subgroups thus providing a finitely presented counterexample to von Neumann’s problem. Our group is an extension of a group of finite exponent n >> 1 by a cyclic group, so it satisfies the identity [x, y] = 1.
متن کاملNon-amenable Finitely Presented Torsion-by-cyclic Groups
We construct a finitely presented non-amenable group without free non-cyclic subgroups thus providing a finitely presented counterexample to von Neumann’s problem. Our group is an extension of a group of finite exponent n 1 by a cyclic group, so it satisfies the identity [x, y]n = 1. 1. Short history of the problem Hausdorff [14] proved in 1914 that one can subdivide the 2-sphere minus a counta...
متن کاملConstructing Matrix Representations of Finitely Presented Groups
The Todd-Coxeter coset enumeration algorithm is one of the most powerful tools of computational group theory. It may be viewed as a means of constructing permutation representations of nitely presented groups. In this paper we present an analogous algorithm for directly constructing matrix representations over many elds. In fact the algorithm is more general than this, and can be used to constr...
متن کاملDecompositions of finitely generated and finitely presented groups
In this paper we discuss the splitting or decomposing of finitely generated groups into free products, free products with amalgamation or HNN extensions and we discuss the JSJ decomposition of finitely presented groups.
